Description

NGC 1854 Arrows MS 66. After the weight change in minor silver coinage in 1853, the general public noticed the arrowheads on either side of the date on the new silver coinage that was released. Many were saved, but as could be expected, few were handled with much care. As a result, while many coins exist today in lower grades, superb gems such as this one are very rare. This piece has completely original surfaces that show a lovely muted forest-green patina on the obverse, and while the same color is present on the reverse, there is also an overlay of light reddish patina. The devices are fully struck, and there are no mentionable surface flaws, only die clashing in the fields on each side. Population: 4 in 66, none are finer (4/94).
